TAST catch up week

TAST week 34 was the linked double chain stitch. I actually did the stitch that week but forgot to post about it. You can see my attempt in the top photo. I don't think it is right. Not understanding how to do a stitch really takes the joy out of it for me. Plus if it is too difficult for me to get then I am just not interested in it. I have enough responsibilities in my life and I feel like my stitching is a refuge. It is not that I don't want to learn new things. For sure I want to learn and grow. I just don't want any frustration with it.
TAST week 33 was the pekinese stitch. I liked this stitch. Mind you I used a fairly thick wool to make things easy for myself. Also, I can not imagine myself doing tons of this stitch with delicate thread like it was intended.
